Die twoday Blogger-Umfrage besticht zwar an manchen Stellen durch Fragen, die ich nur schwer korrekt beantworten kann, aber sie ist nicht nur für twoday-Nutzer. Also: Answer away...

twoday.net the hoster of this blog has a questionaire on blogging - in German only. I fail to be able to answer some of the questions, but still...

An e-mail that went out to my mailinglist for bloggers on my community blog "war-scan".

Hi war-scanners,

is anyone still interested in war-scan-ning?

I got a little frustrated with this blog, as I seemed the onyl person
still devoting time to it.

The main Idea of http://cyberabad.de/warscan/ was

* put together a team of nationally, ethnically and religiously
diferent persons from all around the globe

* blog local and othert events in context with Iraq, war against
terror etc.

I still think that this was and is a good idea and as war-scan ist
very well linked we could gain some google attention. (If activities
rise I will also put together a RSS/atom-feed.)

So,

* who could devote 5 minutes a week to this?
* who would try to get some more bloggers from all around the world?
* who has got other ideas how to boost the blog?

One idea would be to hand out small 'task sections' (like watching
certain blogs, blogging books about our topics, watching one country
or topic etc.)

Well? ;)

PS: After 11M the usage went WAY up again:

David Sifry of Technorati writes:

One year ago, when I started Technorati on a single server in my basement, we were adding between 2,000-3,000 new weblogs each day, not counting the people who were updating sites we were already tracking. In March of this year, when we switched over to a 5 server cluster, we were keeping up with about 4,000-5,000 new weblogs each day. Right now, we're adding 8,000-9,000 new weblogs every day, not counting the 1.2 Million weblogs we already are tracking. That means that on average, a brand new weblog is created every 11 seconds. We're also seeing about 100,000 weblogs update every day as well, which means that on average, a weblog is updated every 0.86 seconds.

That to those who only see a moonscape from deserted blogs...
